Responsibilities

• Define what ClickHouse should be known for and turn it into a rolling narrative and communications strategy that the marketing and executive teams work from
• Build the communications machine: announcement calendar and tiering, press materials, holding statements, a reporter cadence, and launch amplification, directing agency partners and holding them to outcomes
• Own press and media relations across technology and business media, taking the ClickHouse story beyond the tech press and re-educating the market on the full platform
• Build executive platforms for our founders and leaders: the themes each owns, the moments and formats worth their time, and a clear way to evaluate inbound podcast, mainstage, and sponsored event opportunities
• Shape quarterly release moments and major launches so they earn attention and show up consistently across press, social, community, and the field
• Set the standard for how ClickHouse sounds in public: voice, quality bar, and the discipline that every published claim, number, and proof point is approved, current, and consistent
• Hire and lead the team as the function grows, and build the planning and review rhythm that keeps narrative, communications, and social aligned

Requirements

• Experience building or rebuilding a communications function at a growth-stage infrastructure, developer, or data company
• A record of landing stories in tier-one business media as well as technology press, with the relationships and news judgment to do it again
• Experience working directly with a CEO and executive team: shaping their points of view, preparing them, and declining opportunities not worth their time
• Media-company operator instincts: you think in themes, arcs, and audiences
• Player-coach approach: you write and edit yourself, give useful feedback, and set the bar by example
• Comfort with a technical product and a technical audience, including credibility with engineers and developers
• Experience directing agencies to outcomes, with judgment about what belongs in-house
• Analytical grounding: you track what is landing, form a view on why, and use it to decide where to focus
